Abstract:
The unanticipated lockdown following the COVID-19 has had a significant impact in the field of rehabilitation compelling the professionals to switch to tele-mode in order to continue service without interruption. The aim of this article is to highlight the steps taken to overcome the various challenges encountered and to strengthen the opportunities in telerehabilitation services at a tertiary care center in Kerala. An average of 1000 clients were served through telerehabilitation in the various units at the institute on a monthly basis during the COVID 19 pandemic outbreak. Telerehabilitation services included assessments, intervention, and counseling for clients of all ages with various types of disabilities. A high literacy rate and better access to technology among the general population in Kerala were identified as advantages for the rapid implementation of telerehabilitation, which was also found to be a viable form of service delivery.
